This paper studies the extent to which diffusion approximations provide a reliable guide to equilibrium selection results in finite games. It is shown that they do for a class of finite games with weak learning provided that limits are taken in a certain order. The paper also shows that making...

This paper shows how graphs can be used to calculate waiting times in models of equilibrium selection. It also shows how reducing the state space can simplify the calculations of both waiting times and selected equilibria. The results are applied to potential games and games with strategic...
